LBG Roles

[BolshieBastard]

I got offered a role back at LBG with people I'd worked with before. In the end, I jibbed PP (Hydrogen) off when they started pissing me about as TM knows. Glad I did really as I landed a role 12 miles from home for a smidgen of the rate less.

Was narked at the time because I'd worked with the people who wanted me on board and I wasnt happy at letting them down.

I had 3 emails form different agents yesterday for Senior Programme Manager role. One quoted rate as £800PD, one didnt state rate and the other said the role was £500PD (taking the mick I think). I kinda thought all these agents were chancing it to find candidates and werent likely to have authority the role actually placed with them.

I know there are lot of roles turning around at Lloyds but none of the 3 agents are on PSL list.

There are a lot of Accenture and Deloitte staff at LBG and both consultancies are very forward in expanding accross the group so advertised roles may get filled by them, with the role getting withdrawn from external agents. This has happened to me before when going for a role at Nationwide.

No one is on the PSL. It's Hyphen on the SSL.

All the other agencies, Hydrogen (Project Partners), RZ and a bunch of other backstreet pimps are on Hyphen's 2nd tier list, but there are loads of them so you may not know who is on the 2nd Tier list to Hyphen. Hydrogen are getting the bulk of the people i've met since I went back to Lloyds.

Hypen are part of Ajilon as are Computer People, so they tend to use CP to do the paperwork.

Pretty much every role now goes via Hypen, the other PSL agencies will work on a fixed commision of 8% and hypen take 2%. Obviously Hypen would rather you came straight to them so they can take the full 10%.

Look for Zac Birchall and Waqar Sabir on linkedIN and see if you have better luck.

Area i'm in (I know people there, so the normal agency application route didn't apply) there's a whole team come in via Hydrogen (Project Partners) and a load of contractors around me starting recently, also via Hydrogen. Not come across anyone yet who's come in directly via Hyphen.

Didn't you refuse the mandatory rate cut on all contractors and walked?

I did in 2008, but have been there twice since then.

Anybody applied recently?

I've done three stints with LBG in the past and always had extensions, this time I've applied for about 6 different roles and not even a sniff.

The agents don't get any feedback either?

anybody in same boat or are people getting through and getting contracts?

Who are you applying through ?

I'm there at the moment and the way agency based recruitment is done has changed dramatically in the last two or three years.

-edit - I could well be mistaken.
